Responsibilities

We’re looking for a Lead Economist to build EliseAI’s economics research and market insights function. You’ll transform our proprietary data into benchmarks and compelling narratives that establish EliseAI as the leading authority on housing. You’ll own the full pipeline from raw data to market-shaping insight and serve as EliseAI’s voice on what the numbers mean.
Establish EliseAI as the leading authority on rental housing through original research and market insights using our proprietary data.
Define and amplify EliseAI’s voice on housing economics across media, industry events, research, and customer channels.
Partner with marketing to create high-impact content that strengthens the brand and engages customers.
Partner with product and data teams to understand product data, build reliable data pipelines, and create scalable reporting.
Expand the reach of EliseAI’s research through partnerships with publications and academic institutions.
Use research and thought leadership to strengthen EliseAI’s employer brand, helping attract exceptional talent across the entire company.
Move at rocket speed, build something massive.
We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff. We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

A quantitative degree or equivalent practical experience
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment.

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.
